The Woodward Dream Cruise from a helicopter: Hi-def R/C chopper footage from the 2012 Dream Cruise

August 20, 2012

As promised, Autoweek captured Friday night and Saturday at the Woodward Dream Cruise from a new vantage point: a four-rotor, remote-controlled helicopter sporting a high-definition video camera.

We're still cutting footage together, but here's a quick teaser roll to give you an idea of what the chopper cam caught. Night shots, high-altitude views, zoom-arounds and a 360-degree view of the Mustang Alley Burnout Box are all part of the upcoming package, so enjoy the sampler here and look for much more 2012 Dream Cruise helicopter video coming soon.

The Woodward Dream Cruise is a celebration of Detroit's golden age and all things automotive, but the event as we know it today was born in 1995. As we prepare for the Woodward Dream Cruise, we'll be looking back at coverage from past years and keeping you up to date on the latest news. Whether you're looking for Dream Cruise photos, a bit of Woodward Dream Cruise history or recommended hotels and restaurants near Woodward, you'll find it all in Autoweek's Woodward Dream Cruise section.
